In 2016, Yao Ming's induction into the Hall of Fame caused an uproar, and then 17 years Maddie's selection was considered by fans to break the minimum threshold, since the establishment of the Hall of Fame in 1959, the current selection of NBA players (not counting coaches, WNBA, NCAA members) has been as many as 141, if you analyze carefully, you will find that Yao Ming, Maddie can even reach the mid-table level inside, let's take an inventory!
10th place: Jack Tweeman, inducted into the Hall of Fame in '83, honors: Two-time All-NBA Second Team!
Jack Tweiman was a star of the Cincinnati Royals in the 60s, and the first thing we think of when we think of the Royals is Oscar Robertson, and Jack Tweiman is Robertson's helper, averaging 19 points per game in his career, being named to the All-Star and the All-Star Second Team twice.
Tweiman once beat the Lakers led by Baylor and West by 59 points in a single game!
Ninth: Carl Braun, Hall of Fame inducted in '19, honors: Two-time All-NBA Second Team!
Carl Braun is a Knicks celebrity, 1.96 meters tall shooting guard, averaging 16.5 points per game at his peak, he is also a star in the fifties and sixties, five All-Star bench selections in his career, twice named to the All-NBA Second Team, he played for the Knicks for 12 seasons, and the Knicks did not retire his No. 4 jersey, which shows his team status.
Eighth: Bob Lanier, inducted into the Hall of Fame in '92, honors: eight-time All-Star Bench!
Bob Lanier was a 1970 champion, 2.11 meters tall, averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds per game in his career, mainly for the Detroit Pistons, and was selected as an All-Star bench eight times in his career, but he has never won such an honor as the All-NBA team, which means that he has never been a top-10 or top-fifteen star in the league.
Both Lanil and Abdul-Jabbar are good at hooking, and as a result, the good name of Tengou is counted on Abdul-Jabbar's!
Seventh: Ralph Sampson, Hall of Fame inducted in '12, honors: All-time Second Team!
Sampson retired in '92 but wasn't selected until 20 years later in 2012, which shows that the judges are also very entangled in Sampson's positioning, Sampson averaged 22 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in the 84-85 season and was selected for the All-NBA Second Team, and then led the Rockets to the Finals with Olajuwon in '86, and then the 86-87 season was injured and began to decline, and the entire peak period added up to three years, with a high reputation but the honor was indeed thinner.
Sixth: Walter Bellamy, inducted into the Hall of Fame in '93, honors: four-time All-Star!
Bellamy is a 1961 champion, 2.11 meters tall in the center position, rookie first year scored 31 points and 19 rebounds, his entire career is almost going downhill, rookie season high then second year 28 points, third year 27 points, fourth year 25 points, fifth year 23 points, sixth year 19 points, seventh year 17 points, etc., plus just happened to meet Russell and Chamberlain, so not only the best team in his 14-year career was missing him, but the All-Star was only four times.
At that time, there were only one and two formations, and these two occupied the first and second formations all year round, and the other inner lines naturally had no honor to speak of!
5th place: Bill Bradley, inducted into the Hall of Fame in '83, honors: overall winner *2!
Bradley is a Knicks celebrity in the seventies, 1.96 meters tall professional guard, career average of 12.4 points per game and only 16 points and 3.6 rebounds at the peak, 70 and 73 Knicks won the championship twice, when the core of the team was Wilis Reed, Fraser, Barnett, Debusschel, Bill Bradley was just an ordinary starter on the team.
4th place: Petrovich, inducted into the Hall of Fame in '02, honors: once best team three teams!
Pitrovic only played four seasons in the NBA, and in the 92-93 season, which is the fourth year, Petrovic averaged 22.3 points per game and was selected for the NBA All-NBA Third Team for the first time, only to be on the rise, Pietrovic died in a car accident in Munich this summer, and later in 2002 Pitrovic was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame with the famous Magic Johnson.
Play Jordan at the Olympics!
Third place: Kylvin Murphy, inducted into the Hall of Fame in '93, honors: one-time All-Star Substitute!
Fans familiar with the Rockets should know this one, Harden's previous Rockets single-game scoring record was held by Kyle Murphy, averaging 17.9 points and 4.4 assists per game in 13 seasons of his career, Murphy has won a total of two honors in these 13 years, one is the All-Star backup in the 78-79 season, and the other is the Player of the Month in February '81, is this honorary composition far worse than Yao Ming and Maddie?
Murphy was also retired from his jersey by the Rockets!
2nd place: Kukozy, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 21 years, honors: overall winner *3!
Kukoc averaged 11.6 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in his career, and his main honor is that he won three championships as the sixth man during the Bulls, and after Jordan retired in '98, Kukoc played seven seasons with the 76ers, Hawks, Bucks and other teams, but still did not shine, and in 2021, Bulls owner Jerry Linesdorf personally served as a referrer to send Kukoc to the Hall of Fame.
First place: Divac, inducted into the Hall of Fame in '19, honors: one-time All-Star Substitute!
Divac is the worst personal honor in the Hall of Fame, he has two more "faceless" experiences, one is that the quasi-All-Star status in 96 was used by West to trade 18-year-old high school student Kobe, the second is one of the five Tigers of King Princeton at the beginning of the century, averaging 11.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in 16 years of his career, and was selected as an All-Star bench once in the 00-01 season, and Divac averaged 12 points and 8.3 rebounds per game that year!
Maybe more than ten years later, Divac only has the memory point of changing Kobe Bryant!
Such a resume can be said to be mediocre, and guess what? Chris Webb, the big brother of the team, who has been selected for the All-Star and Best Team many times, stumbled all the way and sent fruit baskets many times before finally entering the Hall of Fame in 2022, while Divac was easily selected as early as 2019, the reason is that Webb takes the North American player channel and Divac takes the international player channel, in this regard, Divac, including Yao Ming, has taken a lot of advantage!
